There's definitely some man-against-boys action goin on, but still, God help the corner not named Exum who tries to come up and hit this guy. I'd really like to see a 40 time on him, just cause it's so hard to tell if he has deceptive speed or if the guys chasing him are just slow.

Not really sure why those clips at the end of hi on defense are there. To be honest, he doesn't exactly look like a great linebacker or anything. Stick to running back, kid. That's what you're good at.

Doug Easlick? Oh no. I am thinking more the NFL offense of the 60's, where you had a pro set with a fullback and a halfback, and both were primary ball carriers. Most teams, fullbacks got at least half of the carries. Jimmy Taylor with the Packers was not only an inside runner, but Green Bay often ran the power sweep with Taylor as the ball carrier and Paul Hornung as the lead blocker. Other greats include Larry Csonka and Joe Perry.

It doesn't have belly-lead though. Block everyone down on the right side. Leave the end unblocked. The right halfback kicks out the end. Fullback takes a belly crossover step and dives inside the halfback block. QB rides the dive and then runs the option, with the left halfback as a pitch man.

he definitely needs that power, because some of those runs to the outside won't be made against D-1 players. but that stiff arm is pretty nasty on some of those runs. would be nice to see a runner like that again in maroon and ...maroon.

a possible FB? Our new OC will be looking for one, especially one that can be a road-grader. Kid seems to have power, good (not great) speed. If you look at Auburn film, they used a LOT of FB lead blocking.

why I think we may see a change in that philosophy. In watching Auburn, their FB had to hit the hole fast and clear out a (in most cases) LB for a RB who was right on their tail. A slower FB is going to slow the play down, which from what I could tell (I'm no French by any means) is Loeffler's MO. The running backs have to hit the hole fast due to quick opening creases in the line.
